It was not, he thooght, Sufficient, that those illegally engaged in suchka traf fic siieuld lie oely punishtd by Peel-thy.

Formerly There was a law, ordain-' ing that " he who stealeth a man shall be put to death." Now our law enacted,', that " -he .who stetleth a man, and torteres, and murders hilt, or Consigns him ,to intereninahle slavery ; shall pay 2.01:"' This was at pre , ient the state of-the - case, He hoped before Many monthSwerepasSed the House would take such'steps as ‘vould:etfeetually remedy the evil, and vindicate the character of the country and of Parliament: He 'concluded by rt-30011g,', That an humbie Address be presented to the King, repre setiting to his . Majesty that that liduse having taken into consideration - tite - papers he bad been graciously pleased to cc.rnununicate respecting the - African Slave Trade; but while they acknowledged with grati tutlt his endeavours, in compliance with the wishes of Parliament, to induce foreign powers, and .per suade- his allies to co-operate with England in abo lishing thee Slave Trade, they catrnot but express're- , Bret (Fiat his reptesensaf ions should have had s6-litfle effed.—To'heseech his M-ljesty still to persevere in his endeavours to induce foreigtn . powers and allies to unite with this country in the general abolition of it, and ededually enforce (he laws against it. That then have learned --with' surprise- and indignation, that certain persons in this country have in a dan- . destine and fraudulent Manhe-rendeavoured to revive the Slave Trade again: ,That they wilreatly in the next Session take such measures as will etledually • check such offenders, and punish. ,so daring a violal tion of the laws.: That iiithe intoritu.they pray that his ;.\l:;je'sty will be gracionly , E,lea,ed to give orders ti.e. COmman&rs of Ships arid other officers acting under his Majesty's authority; "to Appress as far as lies in their power pfa::tice§ so, CoptelniApous of Par liament and dero , 6 atory, to the dignity and charaCter of o the nation." • The CHANcELLo“)f the ExcatduE4 said, con curring as he d;cl ii the general objea 01 the- lon. Gentleinan, it was painful tp hini to find any part of the Atidr , -ss such as ht must consider to be irn -proper. He objet7ted to that part pledging the House , to toke up the subj , :cA in the ensuiiig Session. That assage, 1-F.! hoped, the Hon. Centlem4n would have no. objeltion to exptinge, as .it,+Aas not, common to give such a pkt.LIO iii au address. 1f 'it shouldappear desirable that the House should give such a pledge, it .would be better t.f., cone to -it in a resolo"tion than in an address, thoUghas the materials befoye , thent were at present so scanty; and the Hon. Gent letuan.had Into sell.given a pledge to bring the subject forward, thought they would do well to content themselves i with that. With respect to the little progress made itrotir negociations :with forjign Courts on the sub jet% it Should belemembered, how long it was be fore this country was weaned from its old pirejudics., A •, - • and reinembermg that, we ought not to be too sac , ..gnine in our expcaations of the conversion of others. Endeavnurs had been made, and some success, :to make Portugal favourable to the gradual Aboli tion of the Slave Trade, but some allowances were to be tnae for ( t hem if the Portoguesecovernment were not as favourable as eoull be wished, when it was renicmbered how little 'leisure they • had for turning their attention to the subjeo. Mr. M4ay,,C,TT thought those persons who some years 'ago settled in Trini6ad, Ving encouraged-so to do by tile. then Government, had a•fair claim totem pensat ion, having on the strength .of that encourage ment purchased large tracks of land, which in con sequence of the abolition Of the Slave Trade, they could ,not put -into a state of -cullivation, and' of course lost their value. _The measures adopted bad' not .rffyanally checked the trade. We :had only changed charataers, and become_the receivers instead of tile dealers, We merely .Shared thatl)rotit with others which formerly we had all to ,ourselves. If those concerned in 114 e Slave Trade were as inhu man as 'hey were said to be, they ought to be con s!dered as no better flim Livered, at7d as'such cap tured and condemned, to 'whatever nation they tniBht He had letters which. stated,.that the only • obstacle to' an alliance t,ctween - South Aanerica and "this country, was'z . fear on their part ,that. we:would put a Stop.l.6J.berr slave-tr;lde. If, ou•.the first abo- li~ion of I naS trade on 'our part, we - had declared, th 4 after 'a certain period we would capture all concerned iu it, we shouidnow hav'e heard nothing-of such a cilcauistance.
